UK-based distributor TCB Media Rights has sold Surveillance, a hit series for Australia’s Seven Network, to assorted networks internationally.

Among those buying the 12 x 30-minute series are Sky in the UK, SBS Netherlands, Mediaset in Italy, TV4 Sweden and A+E International nets in Poland, Romania, Greece, Cyprus and Africa.

The series, produced by Seven Network Productions, features control room and CCTV camera footage, and has been recommissioned for a new season on Seven.

“It’s a show like Surveillance that is attractive to mainstream audiences across the world, that broadcasters hunt for and distributors cherish,” said Paul Heaney, CEO of TCB Media Rights, in a statement. “They offer a robust appeal and tend to be evergreen in shelf life.”

The distributor has also recently added 10 hours to its roster through an acquisitions deal with New Zealand’s 2B Media, which has licensed distribution rights to two seasons of the TVNZ hit Rescue Code: 1. UKTV will air the series this year.
